Our Wednesday on Tuesday

We had our Wednesday night special program tonight instead of tomorrow as this was the only night that Robin could come. Robin is the coordinator for all of the area projects and she spoke about what it takes "behind the scenes" to run a project like this. She did a great job, but I think the long termers probably were more interested than our young short-term crew.

This morning we met with Deena, the county lady in charge of the environmental stuff, and reviewed the first three house properties with her. We've got some wild flower seeding to do at House #2 after we finish smoothing out the slope behind the house, but she was happy with what had been done at the other houses.

Forry and I spent the afternoon on the road, buying interior paint for House #2 (the guys seemed to think there needed to be a "woman's input" on the paint color) and a refrigerator and stove for House #1. Of course, the stores we needed to go to were a long way apart.

I started out the day with a conference call with the Moderator and Conference Pastor for the SE Mennonite Conference in the Florida area. We (the Search Committee) are contacting each of the area conference to gain the thoughts about the job description and the type of person they visualize for the new Executive Director of Mennonite Church USA.

All in all, it's been a busy day with lots of interaction with lots of different people. It's definitely time for bed -- maybe I can even manage to read at least one chapter in the book I've been working on for two weeks...!
